I cant find the 14mm hex head socket for the crank pulley anywhere do any of you know where i can get one ive called sears and most of the parts stores no one has it

 

I couldn't find one either.

I got a 14mm allen wrench and hacksawed an inch and a half long chunk off of the end of it.

You can then put that chunk in a 14mm socket and the part that sticks out is what you put in the pulley.

 

9/16" may work also.

where are you, maybe someone has one you could borrow.

 

You mean 9/16" right?

I got mine from an online delaer specializing in Mercedes and BMW tools. The oil drain plug on the old SL380 is a 14mm allen. The only problem is that it's too short for the other 14mm allen on the truck - the oil cooler adapter fitting.

i'm pretty sure JDM sells a removal kit for $25 or $30 but the allen wrench thing is a great idea. i'm all about making your own tools

 

Snap-on usually has them. Costs way too much but they were the only one available near me.

 

You can get them from Snap On, Cromwell, Mac, etc… about $10-$15.

Or you can get one form your local Ducati dealer.

 

i have one you can borrow if you are in houston. otheriwse maybe someone can loan you one, or worst case, buy some more tools, that is not always a bad solution. you can never have too many.
